This is the same group who analysed the circumference of a bald guy’s head to work out the album’s producer

we all know the album cover will probably look like this 😏

Damn, it leaked!

The album will release in 2023.

With a good software you can actually see the words pretty easily !! I used mine from work and it's definitively a song !!! The words are in the spoilers for those who don't want to know the lyrics before the release.

New song with lead vocals from Tre confirmed, “Eggs and Mushrooms” 👍

All i want is the first single this year

So this came up on Tumblr...

Such a great fucking song. I hope Green Day's days of getting both creative and theatrical and making stuff like this aren't over. I don't think I've ever appreciated an album before as much as I appreciate 21CB right now.

Had a dream that 1972 was just a nine minute song where tre sings for 6 minutes about how good is eating eggs and mushrooms wtf

Man, they'd finish a lot quicker if they'd actually record music instead of playing on their anti-social meeeedia. #operation no control

I speculate that an anouncement about an album will be in October-November following a single release in February-March. The album release date probably April-May 2023. I was expecting the album release at the end of this year but I see it won't be before 2023. It seems that they're putting so much energy/work to this new album and they wouldn't wanna release it before its the right time for them. 2023 and 2024 will be the year of Green Day.

"Fans of Kevin..." @Montclare that's us! 😄

When Matt speaks that succinctly and definitively, he has some insight. At least if the past 15+ years of history holds true to form.

From Nathaniel Mela From Kevin

Very true

I say we get a single in September, the album in October at the earliest, or Tré’s birthday in December at the latest Just like ¿Viva La Gloria? ( Little Girl) And for all we know any 2 of the 1972 teasers could be 2 parts of the same song!!! Just like this!!!

They were still born in 1972 next year though - they’ll all be 50 until February 17

I got excited so now I’ll be impatient for the next 6 months 😭

Thaat was great. When you put it all together like that we really have a lot of different audio clips. It will be interesting to go back later at a time when these songs will sound familiar and we'll be able to go "oh this was this song" or "this was that song". It's like a little puzzle right now. And that they began dropping last year

Billie found it in the river of a shadow of doubt and it was dressed up in its Sunday best.

Celebrating the two biggest albums of their career while also injecting a massive amount of 1972 songs into the setlist, with Billie saying "We've learned to look back a little, but we gotta look forward too, ya know?" And after all the smack I've talked about proper representation of all their albums in concert, I'd be okay if they did this idea and ignored everything else. Idiot, Dookie, 1972. What I'm pondering now is how much of each one they play. Here's what I've come up with: 1. Welcome to Paradise 2. She 3. Pulling Teeth 4. Holiday 5. She’s a Rebel 6. Coming Clean 7. St. Jimmy 8. Longview 9. Letterbomb 10. 1972 song (ballad) 11. 1972 song (insane punk rocker) 12. Boulevard of Broken Dreams 13. Wake Me Up When September Ends 14. 1972 Song (1950s style song) 15. Extraordinary Girl 16. Burnout 17. Having a Blast 18. When I Come Around ENCORE: 19. Eminus Sleepus 20. Give Me Novacaine 21. 1972 song (Idiot style song) 22. Basketcase 23. Jesus of Suburbia 24. American Idiot 25. 1972 Song (Billie states that he never in his wildest dreams thought he could outdo Jesus of Suburbia, but this songs is called JNS and it’s 11 minutes song. The song ends with a medley of Nobody Likes You and All By Myself as images from the Boulevard of Broken Dreams video go across the entire stage.

Speculation or maybe heard some stuff?

Dookie is going to turn 30 too!!!!

That's exactly what I was thinking

Idk I still think it‘ll be before the end of the year because they all turn 50 this year and 1972 would obviously be a celebration of that

But its really hard to even guess because we don't know how far along the album is or what's going on in the background (considering we've been teased for 8 months now, you'd think we'd have at least something by now.) So who even knows, we might only be halfway through this never ending nightmare of blue balls torture

October at the absolute earliest I'd say

Not GD related but for fans of Kevin he'll be playing an acoustic set later this week

I think it's a possibility that all the teasers are from one track. Tre singing? Well, okay but not eggs and mushrooms. He discovers you can mix coke and milk and that it tastes really weird, so the songs about that.

I totally believe he uses those. Who wouldn’t get a kick out of that?

It would make sense, given the conversation between Rob and Billie was about the song's arrangement

Yeah, Cher Strauberry is a skateboarder and singer in the punk band Twompsax from Oakland. Not sure what Billie is specifically congratulating her on but she's badass and it's nice to see him supporting her. This is a decent article if anyone wants to learn more: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-12-04/cher-strauberry-and-twompsax-on-validation-trans-joy-and-refusing-to-be-tired

Yeah, I don’t think it actually matters if tiktok kids get mad about something. They’re in fact a minority and don’t really have that much influence, plus they aren’t a demographic that makes money. But I just think it’s an interesting shift to how this generation approaches music and the culture around it. I would say that a lot of tiktok trends are rooted in nostalgia (grunge fashion, sovietwave, Running Up That Hill etc), but at the same time it doesn’t seem like there’s actually a way to capitalize on that for artists from that era because (they’re too boomer and problematic for that) the nostalgia is for the aesthetic not the actual culture of that era and that’s fascinating to me, I don’t think my generation was like that 10/12 years ago. Like, I don’t think anyone cared that much. No! We can’t give the kids any ideas

Yeah and that's the issue I have with it, the almost thirsty search for dirt or anything that might distort a band's perfect image (which, if a band has existed for long enough, there almost always is). Also, I often get annoyed more by people who idolise celebrities, expecting them to be some kind of angels or above normal human behaviour, rather than about some of the stupid shit celebs actually get up to (when it's genuinely minor things ofc). Also, where do these people get the time or motivation to conduct such meticulous "research"? I couldn't give a shit tbh However, yeah, if you wanted to dig up "dirt" on Green Day (or stuff that would look bad, certainly out of context), you definitely could. On the other hand, I wonder how great the effect of any given "cancelling" these days would be, especially on TikTok, because it seems to me, as a mere layman of course, that unlike previously (because people have been "cancelled" for decades or even centuries), when someone is cancelled today, in a lot of cases they simply shift demographics or the demographic that cancelled them is fairly irrelevant to them anyway. Yeah, certain people will stop supporting them, but others will continue to do so, or even start supporting them. So, I think the numbers are either largely unaffected or eventually even out. There's no universal banishment, so to speak. It's certainly the sense I get with a lot of actors or other celebs that have been "cancelled" lately. I mean, you keep seeing "cancelled" celebs going on book tours, giving interviews, selling stuff etc. They're clearly doing fine. It's not a partisan issue either, because I think the numbers showed that right-wing boycotts of companies such as Nike and Gillette because of their ads often backfired and actually increased revenues, partly because the controversy raised their profile and partly because others did like the message. In the case of Green Day, I don't know how many gen z'ers actually go to their concerts anyway. There's always been a saying that people in their late 20s or 30s (even 40s) are often a better demographic for musicians, because besides paying for concert or festival tickets (that aren't always cheap), they're also more likely to splash out on merch or other fan products, due to a larger disposable income. But all this has made me rather curious as to what dirt TikTok would dig up on the guys given the chance

I wouldn’t say FOAM was disastrous. It was good, I really liked it, but it just wasn’t maximum Green Day

I wonder if it’s even possible for a rock band to have a rennaisance in the current climate. I mean, gen z listened to master of puppets and now Metallica is canceled.

There was a post a while back I think that Rob had said it was done and just being mixed and that was back in May I think But he said it was almost a perfect take so it might have been near the end

170 bpm he mentioned at 100 bars is just under 2:20

That’s about 4 minutes at 100bpm and it’s faster than that

I hope all these videos lead into a documentary about the record

Didn't think there was much overlap with some of these artists. Kid Rock and Clapton fans would find Green Day too "woke"

I love Letterbomb. Letterbomb is a great song. Please let it be a song like Letterbomb.

I put this in the 1972 thread too because wow what a glimpse into the recording process. This is amazing What is with all these random tags though? Eric Clapton? Kid Rock??

Clearing stuff off my phone and found these don't think I posted yet (apologies if I already did!) Photos from Getty Images

I’m honestly so confused, but let’s just stick to the original lyrics thank you

Billie's post on his Instagram story Tré from @bubukittyfk From Kevin's Instagram story

I honestly believe Billie would like nothing more than to show up somewhere random with Green Day (not a side band/covers thing) and play a show but he can’t because it’s all contracts and security and management and rules. If this hella tiny tour ever happened it wouldn’t be tiny by the time it was done with promoters, Ticketmaster, venues, merch, etc.

Jake was at the festival last week and took these photos. He talks about it in the video he posted
